My burffday be in two days! I wanna have a pawty, but mom and dad be gone away for her work - HEY! That be great. Mom's away the kitties will play!! Come on by and bring your nippy beer and pretzel kibbles. We cat watch the Kentucky wildCATS lose at football. PAWTY SATURDAY!!! Let's see.... yellowpages for....hot band.....beer.......party supplies......beer......lots of yummmy stuff.....beer. Lacey sweetie it's time to DANCE

So, Mom made this interesting meal, put it in a peeplz bowl and set it on the dining room table. Smelled so interesting. I jumped up on the chair and sniffed....interesting. Mom shooed me away. Hey, everything in da house to eat is mine, don't you remember. Then she took that bowl and gave it to Lucy!! Hey, that not fair! I growls and stamped around. O, she got another peeplz bowl of food. She do the same thing. She sit down with it at the table, I think she gonna eat it, then she get up leavin' that bowl so temptingly close.....interesting. I meow real pitiful like. She pet me, pick up the bowl. "Linus, I give you just a little here." She put it on the floor and I grab that food and wolf it down. It taste....interesting.

Overheard mom n dad. All the vacation thingie is over. All mom's traveling on business over. Life gonna be more normal (if anything after Phoenix is ever normal again!). So, the humanz think it is time to start the dreaded DIET once again! They say they gonna be sneaky. Humpf. How sneaky when I just heard the plot? Don't they appreciate that it took four years to get to my grand 20 pounds? More of me to luv, right? Soooo, let the games begin.

Say, we noticed that we don't get emails when we've made comments on others kitties pages anymore. Are other kitties getting them? Do we have to do something to re-start? My mom be a bit scattered and has trouble rememberin' to check everyone's pages again.

So, our first experiment with raw diet did not last very long. Mom having really mucho stress at work and with the old ones right now. She usually do okay with that, but now every single one of us kitties is hissing and snarling and meal time. Did not know new food would create so much angst amongst us! She and Dad fixin' to take a week away, so she gonna stop the raw food, go back to special diet and start over when she get back.

Well mom never thought she'd see a food I don't like. No offense, Mom. Nice that you thot of me, took the time to go out and buy a meat grinder and all. Made that - whateveritis - but, well, sorry, I don't like it. Where's my grub. What do you mean "that's dinner." No. Where's my yummy dry food? My yummy special diet canned stuff? You can give this stuff to Phoenix-Naomi, she'll eat anything. Yep, she likes it. Maybe I'll wait for breakfast.

Well, first thing is about three weeks ago "something" happened to my tail. Sean admitted that he stepped on it, but not sure that the cause. Anyway, today I have an abscess. And my mood was absolutely terrible. I snarled, spat, hissed, swiped and everybody - the vet, mom, Stephanie - so bad that they covered me with a towel to check me out. Got a big shot. To top it off, I weigh 20 pounds. Mom all worked up now about finding me a safe way to lose weight. Some bad news for little Phoenix-Naomi, too. That be on her page.

I cannot believe I am lettin' my mom put this here. So embarrassing! Here is the deal. Before I did my vanishing act last year, I weighed in at about 18 pounds. Mom wanted me to lose weight, but if I did not get munchies at home, I'd eat out. She found out during my missing time that two other families were feeding me! That is like 6 meals a day (heaven!). So, I come home 3 pounds lighter. Now I am inside only so no more other families feedin' me. You think I get slim (or at least stay the same). No way. She hasn't weighed me, but knows I am at least back to my 18 pounds and probably more. She ration my food, try to keep me outta the other guys food. If left to my devices, I will steal their food (especially Miranda and Lottie). So, Mom try to keep me to my own, but weight still comin' on. So, maybe it be a lack of exercise. I lay around all day. Since she heard about the poor 39 pound kitty, she startin' to worry. My diet is 1/3 cup Royal Canin 30 for kitties with crystals in their pee, with 1/8 cup Friskies Special Diet wet added, cause she heard kitties on dry food get more fat.I get that two times a day. So, anybody got ideas? I am four and she worried at the rate we goin' I won't live to be six cause of weight. Good grief, ma, this is soooo embarrassing!
